The Autumn can be a really exciting time – as the nights
draw in, events like Diwali, Halloween, Bonfire Night and even the Christmas
holiday feel just around the corner.
But Bonfire Night in particular can be very dangerous, cause
damage to property and make people feel vulnerable. So, every year, we work
with our partners at Newcastle City Council, Northumbria Police and Tyne and
Wear Fire and Rescue service to try to make our city as safe as possible.
Last year the campaign resulted in 80 tonnes of combustible
waste being removed from YHN estates and it was reported by Northumbria Police
that there was a 29% reduction in incidents involving fireworks and bonfires.
In the run up to Bonfire Night, we’ve organised a
number of events to help you dispose of any combustible materials you may
have stored in your garden or sheds to prevent it from falling into the wrong
hands and ending up on an illegal bonfire and causing damaged to estates.
Doing this will help to keep your estate safe and pleasant
for everyone, but it doesn’t mean you have to miss out completely – attend an
organised display and you get all of the fun without the danger!
Caged wagons will be available to collect waste at various
places across the city from next week – see below for details of collections in
your area (they are listed by local housing office)
